DJ etiquette
Non-negotiables
- Be on time. Arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled start time. Getting there on the dot is not acceptable.
- Stay engaged, and stay off your phone. You have an obligation to be part of the experience, with your music, your attitude and your body language. People are always watching.
Both of these points are non-negotiable. If I get feedback on either, I will cancel gigs.
Music
Play fun and friendly music.
For Friday & Saturday nights, keep it vocal, accessible and fun: upbeat remixes of well-known tracks and anything with a recognisable hook. Let them sing along. Play popular stuff like some Afro house, take requests and keep people happy. No one will judge you.
Make an effort to mix the tunes you play. Venues pay attention, so apply some skill and technique and make those transitions nice and seamless.
Bookings & commitments
Please be mindful of bookings and commitments. We're a small team of DJs, booked mostly for our suitability to the venues.
Everyone is booked well in advance for a reason. We don't have the time to be scrambling for last-minute replacements, particularly not at this time of year. And especially not for circumstances you're able to give sufficient notice about, or for getting better offers.
If a pattern emerges, I won't be able to book you moving forward.
